MPG calculated vs actual
Hmmm, mines opposite from everybody. I just came back from a 1544 mile trip towing a 10,000 lb gooseneck load. Computer said 12.6 at the end of the trip. Hand calculated at 13.25. Totally stock.
My overhead readout use to be with in +/- 1 mpg until Dodge hook up there Star scanner to the truck and now the over head reads 4-8 mpg higher then hand calculated fuel mileage and they tell me there is no way to correct the problem.
Calibrate your overhead DIY
All it takes for your truck, Matt, is a short length of Duct Tape and a Sharpie (17.6). Heck, I should sell pre-calculated kits through Lary and make us both a big buck or two and keep this site going forever.
Back to evening brew. . .
Here's a question, may have already been asked somewhere else, but with the below statement, is it true that the 6.7's actually get worse mileage, or is it that the 6.7 lie-o-meter is much more accurate than the 5.9 lie-o-meter?
when i pulled my battery cable to do some work on my truck and reconnected, the got alot closer to actual MPG reading. prior the O/H would read 25-26 when hald calc would be 18-19. now O/H read about 18-20 with the same hand calc.
Overhead meter calibration
When I get to messing around with the buttons I occasionally get a single digit number. Mine is set on "3" I believe, but I was assuming it might change the calibration. I actually forgot about I & haven't messed with it
